To all whom yit may concern:

Be it known that I, PATRICK MCNULTY, of New York, in the countyof New York and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Button-Gaiters; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, snch as Will enable others skilled in the art to `which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, in which` Figure l is a perspective view of my invention. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 represent the patterns for cutting the upper.

This invention has relation to an improvement in the manufacture of button-gaiters, and consists in forming the same without a separate vamp and button-piece, the quarters being eut to extend from the heel to the toe, and the 'button-piece cnt in one of said quarters, as hereinafter described.

The object of this invention is to produce a perfectly-fitting gaiter of neat and attractive appearance, with a considerable saving of 1abor and material.

Referring to the accompanying drawings,A designates abutton-gaiter constructed according to my improvement, the quarters A Al being cut'so as to extend from the heel to the toe, thus dispensing with the ordinary side seam, and saving material and labor, While at the same time producing an easier and: more perfect t than is obtained from the ordinary vamp. B designates the button-piece, formed from one of the said quarters, and being a part thereof, without connecting-seam or stitching. By so cutting the button-piece, its edge and the adjoining edge of the quarter may be givenl a beautiful scallop, as shown at a a', the partsV FATEICK MCNULTY.
